Check in starts 30 minutes before the tournament. If you do not check in, you will be disqualified.

Players
will have 15 minutes to begin their match from the first time that both
players are available. If a player does not respond within the allotted
15 minutes, their opponent will be awarded a walkover.

This tournament is open to any player who is in platinum or diamond league.

Players in lower leagues are free to play as well.

If you have finished Master or higher in the past three seasons, you will NOT be
allowed to play. The highest rank you are with any race is the rank you
will be considered for the tournament. There are currently no
exceptions for "off-racing".

You must have played at least 10 1v1 ranked ladder games in the past 6 days to participate.

The
maps will be picked using the ABAB format used in WCS. The higher seed
bans first (A). The lower seed bans next (B). The bans continue until
only three maps remain. The higher seeded player then picks the first
map, and the lower seeded player picks the second map. (ABAB ABC)

Laddering
is discouraged while playing in this tournament. If you are laddering
during the tournament and it causes a delay of a match, you will be
disqualified.

Games
will be played on whichever US server both players agree to. In the
event an agreement cannot be reached, the admin will decide which server
is most fair for both players. Playing games on another region, for
this tournament, is not allowed.

ALL of these rules, as always, are at the current admin's discretion.

It
is the discretion of the admins to determine if a player is smurfing.
If a player is believed to be smurfing, the admin may remove him/her
from the current tournament. If the player is cleared from the
accusation, the player may return to play in the following tournament.
If it is determined by the staff that the player is smurfing, the player
will be temporarily banned from all Proxy Tempest tournaments for 3
months.

We
are adding and removing rules based on feedback from the community.
